Assassin's Creed: Embers Trailer

UbiWorkshop will not only continue Ezio Auditore's story in the animated short film Assassin's Creed: Embers, it will bring closure to the master assassin's tale.

Tied to events depicted in the forthcoming Assassin's Creed Revelations game, Embers portrays an older Ezio that fears for his family's safety as his past catches up with him. The story is briefly described in the game, and Ubisoft recommends watching the short film immediately after playing the game to experience the events in sequence. Get a preview below:

Assassin's Creed: Embers is set to ship in the Animus Edition of Assassin's Creed Revelations, which will launch on November 30. The 20-minute short will also be available for digital download. Ubisoft has yet to announce pricing.

Sharkey says: I like to think of Ezio going out in a blaze of glory as a young man rather than meeting his end because his aging body failed him. Sigh. I suppose we can always revisit young Ezio through the Animus. What's your take on getting closure to Ezio's story through a short film rather than in the game itself?
